What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can architect and automate secure GCP infrastructure, improve CI/CD and Kubernetes deployments, and own observability and governance—working with teams that value reliability, security, and operational efficiency.

I’m an Infrastructure Engineer and Google Cloud Platform Architect with 10+ years of IT experience, including 8+ years specializing in Google Cloud Platform (GCP), cloud infrastructure automation, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, and cloud-native deployments. I build and optimize scalable, secure, and resilient cloud infrastructure across enterprise environments.

In my current role at Mphasis, I architect and provision GCP VPC networks and subnetworks using Terraform, applying CIDR planning, network segmentation, and best practices. I also automate infrastructure cleanup using Python and GCP APIs, and integrate remediation workflows via JIRA REST APIs.

Previously at Searce, I led architecture and deployment of SaaS and Kubernetes-based applications for Google Cloud Marketplace. I designed secure onboarding platforms using Python and Flask, integrated Cloud Run/App Engine/Pub/Sub/Datastore, and improved deployment reliability through infrastructure standardization and automation.

Across my experience, I’ve strengthened cloud operations with observability (VPC Flow Logs, Cloud Logging/Monitoring, Stackdriver, Datadog) and governed infrastructure through Terraform import, reusable modules, secure state, and least-privilege IAM controls. I enjoy mentoring teams and driving practical improvements that reduce risk and operational overhead.
